Akon's New album Freedom


Freedom[2] is the third studio album by singer, Akon. The album was originally named Acquitted.[3] It was released on December 2, 2008, and as a digital download on December 1.

It is the first album by Akon not to carry the Parental Advisory sticker, although there is still some profanity in the album.

The album debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200, selling 110,000 copies its first week. It currently sold about 350,000 copies so far.

The first single released from the album, "Right Now (Na Na Na)," which peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 was his 12th top 10 hit on the chart.

The second single is "I'm So Paid", featuring Lil Wayne & Young Jeezy. The single made a "Hot Shot Debut" at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 and fell off the charts after a few weeks, but then re-entered and peaked at #31.

The album's third single, "Troublemaker," featuring Sweet Rush debuted and peaked at #97 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The songs "Beautiful" and "Keep You Much Longer" peaked at #19 and #123 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 based solely on iTunes downloads following the album's release without single releases. "Beautiful" has been getting much radio airplay since it debuted on the Billboard 100.
